British police have nabbed a third suspected member of "Team
Poison," a hacktivist group that gained notoriety, and the swift
attention of the authorities, for taunting the U.K., Secret
Intelligence Service last month.

The 17-year-old, who used the online name "MLT," was arrested
Wednesday night (May 9) in Newcastle in connection with alleged
violations of the Computer Misuse Act,
The Register reported. Computer equipment was seized during
the arrest of the unnamed suspect, and is being processed by
forensic specialists.

On his Twitter feed, MLT identifies himself as a member of Team
Poison, and his bio reads "Blend in. Get trusted. Trust no one.
Own everyone. Disclose nothing, Destroy everything. Take back the
scene." MLT's Twitter account has been silent since 6:27 p.m. on
May 9.

MLT's arrest is the second direct action taken against
Team Poison in a month; on April 13, two British teens
were arrested for flooding the Secret Intelligence Service's
anti-terrorism hotline with 24 hours of automated phone calls and
then calling the government agency to taunt officers.

Following this arrest, Team Poison members vowed
to retaliate. On May 4, they leaked usernames and passwords
belonging to employees of the United Nations World Health
Organization, the Australian government and Panasonic.
